QAPI Thresholds

By Darlena James posted 06-17-2013 17:20

  
Hello all,

I am trying to implement one of the new QAPI tools from the NRAA website. I am finding it extremely comprehensive and useful, but I am having a difficult time determining exactly where to find the CMS and Network Goals for specific QIPS. I understand that my own facility should establish our goals for each indicator. For example, I realize that the hemoglobin target is 10-12, and that the desired URR is >65%, but what percentage of my patient population achieving this target is CMS looking for? I am unable to find helpful information on my Network's website. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

You may find specifics on facility goals from your ESRD Network. Hopes this helps!

Hi Darlena,
I have the document outlining the CMS QIP "targets" for 2015 - they mention the 2014 ones too but this site won't let me attach it.
Contact me at isabelle.sargeant@vtmednet.org and I'll send it to you.
